NSXCIGAR Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Punch. Clean, efficient and easy. For figurados, a scissor cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connoisseur Kim Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I prefer Colibri V-Cut the most, since it gives more intense flavor than any other cuts IMHO. Will try Cuban Crafters Dos Chabetas Perfect Cutter for straight cut. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tdm_86 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 The last few months I’ve been mostly using a straight cut, but I go through phases 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDB Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Punch. Doesn’t mess with the wrapper, more controlled draw. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryK 54 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Always a straight cut with Xikar XO cutter. Have been know to use fingernails on Parejos. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akela3rd Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 V cut at home or in more civilised surroundings, fingernail circle if out in the field as I often am due to my propensity for losing stuff. Sent by spooky action at a distance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevrknow Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Small punch first. Bigger punch or straight cut until it draws to my preference. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanWil84 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Whatever I feel like, I do sometimes judge on how firm the cigar is what cut I would need. If the draw seems lose when judging a smaller draw surface will be enough, if it's firm or the draw is less than what I thought it will be I sometimes do a X cut. If the cigars feels firm I use a straight cut. I don't have a punch except for fingernails. Verstuurd vanaf mijn VOG-L29 met Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeypots Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I've gone from using the punch to cutting the cap off with the sharp little blade on this SA cigar punch. For a tapered or fat cigar it's a straight cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackinkc Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Straight. Easy and clean. V cut feels weird on the lips to me also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ites Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Depends on the mood and the cigar. Recently it has been mostly punch unless figurado then vcut. Have no proper straight cutter and don't feel the need to get one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corylax18 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I prefer a punch. Just big enough to get good draw. I have the tool Joeypots posted above, the three size choices are awesome. I like that a punch leaves some of the "shoulder" intact, it leads to less problems later in the cigar and I prefer the feel of it. I like Scissors for straight cuts, the JJ Fox scissors have been my go to straight cutter since they released them. Very sharp and easy to control. I've never understood V cuts or had any desire to purchase a V cutter. The asymmetry bothers me. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meesterjojo Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 For the most part a v cut with a colibri. For the really thin ones, like lanceros and those Montecarlos I straight cut. Occasionally I use a punch, and when I do I'm always delightfully surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much agreed! I found Colibri V-Cut allows me to puff CCs with more comfort (and very easy to use for sure). Can't wait to use Colibri V-Cut on Pyramids like H. Upmann No. 2 😄.
